The only real challenge at the point is making sure the user has the tools necessary to take that vision and move it to the digital world. 3D designers have been doing this with a keyboard and mouse for years, but if you take things like the Razer Hydra and combine it with an Oculus Rift, you can create an experience that will better encourage creativity.
